KUT at the Four Seasons: Nada Surf

This year, indie and alt rock band Nada Surf will enter their third decade together as a band, something that not many of their contemporaries can claim. Throughout those years they've swapped out early 90's angst for a more deliberate and melodic playing style, but at their core, the group remains the same.

Nada Surf joined KUT as a part of our SXSW lineup at the Four Seasons. Check them out our final performance of SXSW 2012 RIGHT HERE!...
